We report on long-lasting phosphorescence and photostimulated long-lasting phosphorescence phenomena in femtosecond laser-irradiated Mn2+-doped alumino-phosphofluoride glasses. Long-lasting phosphorescence was observed in the glass samples after the irradiation of the focused femtosecond laser. Photostimulated long-lasting phosphorescence was observed in the femtosecond laser pre-irradiated region by excitation of an ultraviolet light of 365 nm, after the femtosecond laser-induced long-lasting phosphorescence decayed completely. The mechanisms of these phenomena have been discussed. These phenomena have potential uses in three-dimensional ultra-high-density optical recording.
